Lopez isn't the only Marlin making waves; outfielder Jesús Sánchez also deserves mention for his notable .600 AVG in one game, demonstrating his ability to significantly impact the team's offensive efforts. On the pitching side, George Soriano emerged as a key player for the Marlins with an ERA of 0.0 and a striking WHIP of 1.0 in one appearance, showcasing his potential to stifle Reds hitters.


Turning our attention to the Reds, Jonathan India stands out with his exceptional performance at second base. His prowess was particularly evident when he achieved a .600 AVG in one game, highlighting his critical role in Cincinnati's lineup. Meanwhile, Spencer Steer's .500 AVG and Terry Friedl's consistent on-base presence add depth to the Reds' offensive arsenal.
